Whitening Treatment for All Ages
Have you struggled with deep stains from years of coffee consumption or from tetracycline staining? Have you tried whitening strips to no avail and increased teeth sensitivity? Professional teeth whitening can help you achieve the bright, white smile you’ve always wanted. Elements Dentistry is proud to use the KöR Teeth Whitening System – a highly effective teeth bleaching system that does not cause as much teeth sensitivity as other systems or strips.
What Makes KöR Different?
KöR was developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy using the chemistry of teeth whitening. He wanted to determine the key components to making teeth whitening as effective as possible. As a result of his analysis, he developed three features that enabled his bleaching system to get stronger results, even on the difficult whitening cases.
- Kör’s unique tri-barrel system: By keeping the bleaching elements separated until the moment of application, the KöR system could include additional powerful elements that were not compatible in mixed storage. Now you can get all the powerful bleaching components available. This is the only tri-barrel system available in the world.
- Refrigeration: Kör teeth whitening components are refrigerated from the point of their manufacture, which prevents strength degradation. The gel is activated when it comes in contact with your teeth and warms up. This prevents it from losing strength in transport or storage.
- Unique bleaching tray: The trays are specially designed to keep out saliva, preventing your saliva from mixing in with the bleaching gel and diluting its effectiveness.
- Tackles tetracycline staining: KöR whitening is the only whitening system that is able to address tetracycline staining. If you have tetracycline staining, book a consultation with one of our doctors to discuss if KöR whitening is a good option for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Why does KöR Whitening work so well? How long does KöR Whitening last?
The KöR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth’s youthful ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving and removing stain molecules. Unlike other whitening methods, with easy periodic home maintenance, KöR Whitening deliver lasting results.
Is it safe?
Whitening products have been clinically studied for more than three decades and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gums. KöR Whitening is considered entirely safe.
Does it matter how old I am?
Teeth are safely whitened at any age, however, the ideal age to begin whitening teeth is about 14 because the permanent teeth are usually all fully erupted in the mouth by that age. The younger teeth are, the more brilliantly they whiten. However, KöR Whitening rejuvenates even older teeth back to their youthful ability to whiten incredibly well, even if you’re 90 years old.
Is there pain or discomfort with KöR Whitening?
Many have experienced pain during teeth whitening. Maybe you’ve experienced it yourself. After years of research, development and clinical testing, Dr. Rod Kurthy, the inventor of KöR Whitening, introduced a whitening gel that, in most cases, produces little to no sensitivity. As a result, most patients have no discomfort from whitening when using this system. We have found KöR Whitening to be the gentlest whitening system available.
How white will my teeth get?
KöR Whitening lightens teeth dramatically, up to 16 shades or more. Although everyone is different, with the proper KöR Whitening System, nearly all teeth will have stunning results. KöR even whitens tetracycline-stained teeth significantly, which was previously thought to be impossible!
Will KöR whiten my veneers, crowns, or bridges?
No, it will not! However, keep in mind that KöR will not whiten the color of your veneers, crowns, or bridges. If your veneers, crowns, or bridges match the color of your teeth currently, they may appear more yellow or darker after KöR whitening treatment.
